Samoer's dream didn't last long. The noise coming from the middle of the night suddenly woke him up. It seems that someone set fire in the city. Samoer frowned. It must be those guys from the Dark Moon who don't give up. Is it really endless? Do they really think they can recapture Town Mordo under the garrison of the army?
"General!" Lieutenant Liers hurriedly reported, "Many important places in the town are on fire. There is a large amount of poisonous mist near the barracks. Many soldiers are poisoned."
"Damn it!" Samoer knew that it must be the work of the Dark Moon's enemies again. These enemies were not the opponents of the army head-on, but this harassment tactic was really annoying. It seemed that there were still many enemy spies remaining in the town.
"I have sent people to extinguish the fire and strengthen the guards, but the poisoned soldiers are very troublesome. Ordinary antidotes don't work! Only magic power can barely contain it, but we have very few magicians. Most of these poisoned people are soldiers of the 2 estates … "
"Let the magicians help the soldiers of our own legion first!" When Samoer heard that not many of the Nether Hydra Legion were poisoned, he was slightly relieved. As for the 2 guys who followed to take credit, he originally looked down on them.
"Understood, general!"
Liers responded. As he was about to leave, a soldier hurriedly reported, "General, a large group of people and horses has been found in the southern wilderness. It seems to be the main force of the enemy!"
In the past few days, Samoer was annoyed by the Dark Moon's continuous harassment tactics. He was worried that he couldn't hit the opponent's sore spot. When he heard that the enemy's main force was coming, he immediately waved his fist, "Prepare to meet the enemy immediately!"
Samoer urgently assembled the army and rushed to the southern wilderness. Sure enough, the enemy was far from the original sporadic squad. From the dense torches, it could be seen that there were at least tens of thousands of people. However, compared with Samoer's military power, it was still far inferior.
The Dark Moon Army obviously came prepared. Seeing Samoer's army arriving, the sky full of arrows broke through the air before they could get close. Samoer had seen the ultra-long range of the enemy's arrows several times before, so he was not unprepared. As soon as he gave the order, several giant shields in the front row were propped up, and the infantry behind also raised the round shields in their hands. Of course, the coverage of this defense was limited, and it was difficult to see the arrows clearly in the dark. After a round of arrows, many soldiers still fell, but compared to the previous surprise attacks, the killing effect was much weaker.
The high-level archers of the Demon Realm all had the tactic of three consecutive shots. The archers were divided into three teams and took turns to shoot. The rain of arrows was continuous for a while, forcing the Nether Hydra Legion to be unable to approach. Samoer silently calculated the interval between shooting arrows. Without waiting for the opponent to start the next round of three shots, he immediately ordered the front army to assault.
However, when the soldiers braved the rain of arrows and charged at the enemy, there was a sudden deafening explosion on the ground. The soldiers within range were cut off and sent flying. It was a tragic sight.
"Damn it! It's a Dark Lightning Spell! " Samoer couldn't help but curse. He finally understood why the enemy came to the wilderness early in the morning, but they didn't attack for a long time. It should be the Dark Thunder that was set up not long ago.
With this pause, the sky full of arrows began to pour down again.
"Nether Serpent Legion, don't panic! Keep the formation! "Samoer roared," The second and third legions attack! "
The second legion and the third legion were the armies of the 2 lords. One of the lords couldn't help but say, "General, the magic Dark Thunder is too powerful. I think we should find another way …"
Before he finished speaking, he was shrouded by a murderous aura. Samoer's eyes were bloodshot, "If you dare to be timid, I will cut off your head now!"
The 2 lords had no choice but to drive their troops forward. After paying a certain price, they finally filled the magic Dark Thunder with cannon fodder. The Dark Moon Army did not continue to fight. They used bows and arrows to attack while retreating. It was just that the lethality was no longer as strong as before. Moreover, the Nether Hydra Legion that got closer also began to shoot arrows, causing a certain number of casualties.
Samoer pulled out his long sword and was about to order the entire army to assault. Suddenly, a soldier rode a horse to report, "Bad news! General, a large number of enemy cavalry suddenly appeared in Town Mordo. The barracks were attacked, and all the rations were burned! "
"What?" Samoer was shocked and angry, "You useless things!"
Lieutenant Liers also looked horrified, "Didn't we drive the Dark Moon Army out of Town Mordo before? Where did this large number of cavalry come from? "
Samoer didn't know that various traps and secret teleportation points had been set up in Town Mordo during the days when it was occupied. The Dark Moon Army used these things to launch a surprise attack and burn the rations while Samoer led the main force to the southern wilderness.
Logistical supplies were an indispensable element of the army. Although there were still some emergency rations placed in a batch of space equipment of the quartermaster, it was only a drop in the bucket for the army of nearly 100,000. When the soldiers heard the news, there was a commotion.
At this time, the rear of the capital army suddenly became chaotic. It seemed that they had been ambushed.
"It's the enemy's cavalry!"
"Be careful!"
Groups of fast-moving people and horses appeared at the side and rear of the capital army. The cavalry's powerful mobility and impact force were vividly displayed on this plain terrain. The rear formation was scattered.
"Surround them!" Samoer shouted, "All the cavalry, follow me!"
The Nether Hydra Legion was mainly infantry, and there were also thousands of cavalry. Under the leadership of Samoer, they rushed toward the Dark Moon cavalry.
Samoer, who took the lead, showed great strength. The long sword in his hand was like the wind. Every time he passed, the enemy cavalry was cut into two with their horses.
However, only a few were killed by Samoer. The quality of this group of Dark Moon cavalry was quite high. They did not continue to fight, but they made full use of the speed advantage of the mount and terrain. Previously, the rear army formation was scattered. Even with the Nether Hydra cavalry, they still couldn't stop them.
The Dark Moon cavalry is actually so strong!
Samoer was secretly shocked, and he immediately found that although these cavalry were covered with cloaks, the scimitars and shields in their hands were a bit familiar. They seemed to be exclusive to a certain organization.
However, Samoer didn't think much because the leader of the Dark Moon cavalry, a masked man who was also wearing a cloak, had already rushed over here.
The cloaked man waved the long sword in his hand, and a cluster of black flames whizzed out. Before the Nether Hydra Legion soldiers approached, they were instantly turned into ashes.
"[Black Flame]!" Samoer felt that the opponent's power was on the same level as his own. He flew up from the horse, and his purple eyes suddenly turned black and white. The long sword was also wrapped in a layer of black flame, and he slashed at the opponent's [Black Flame]. His move was very fast. The [Black Flame] was slashed into several pieces in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace.
Samoer's leap had already shortened the distance between him and the man. The other party did not show any weakness. He also flew up from the horse and greeted him.
At the moment when the 2 figures were about to cross each other, Samoer's hand suddenly doubled in size and turned into a long-handled broadsword. This change was extremely sudden. It was equivalent to the man automatically sending his neck to the blade. Samoer had defeated many strong enemies with this move. He intended to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible to greatly boost the morale of the enemy.
To Samoer's surprise, the man seemed to be extremely familiar with him. He had already seen through this move, and a large square shield appeared in his hand. This "lengthened" saber swept across the square shield, creating a trail of black sparks. It left a shallow scratch on the shield, but it didn't cause any damage. Instead, the long sword followed the saber and slashed upwards at lightning speed.
Samoer was shocked. He tried his best to dodge, but he was still half a beat slower. A deep bloody groove was cut on the armor on his arm. The nearby armor melted due to the high temperature of the [Black Flame] and sank into his flesh. He couldn't help but roar in pain.
Samoer's heart shook violently. He couldn't be more familiar with this move. In the martial arts competition in front of the Fallen Angel Palace, under the gaze of Regent Obsidian, he was defeated by an opponent who used the same move to gain the upper hand, and he was finally defeated.
Not only in the individual competition, but in the subsequent legion martial arts competition, he was defeated by this person again. Since then, he hated this opponent and made things difficult for him.
"It's you!"
Thinking of this, Samoer suddenly reacted- The Lucifer Royal Family of the intermediate stage of the Demon Emperor, those powerful cavalries, the familiar round shield and machete … It's actually that person!
While he was in a daze, the opponent's long sword with [Black Flame] had already struck his chest. However, before the long sword touched Samoer, his figure suddenly retreated and distanced himself vigilantly. It turned out that there was already one more person in the air in front of Samoer. It was the Demon Overlord Zeta of the elder family who accompanied and protected him.
Zeta's power firmly locked on the cloaked leader, and his cold murderous aura swept out. Under normal circumstances, Zeta was only responsible for protecting Samoer's personal safety, and he was not assigned by him. However, Zeta himself wanted to take action at the moment- The Dark Moon's cavalry exerted a very powerful attack power, and the Nether Hydra Legion couldn't take them down for a while. If he beheaded this cloaked leader, it should play a deterrent role to the enemy.
"Nesta!"
Samoer yelled out. His bloodshot eyes stared closely at the cloaked leader.
Zeta couldn't help but be taken aback. Is this enemy the legion commander of the Magic Shadow Legion, Nesta? Isn't Nesta trapped by the Dark Moon Army in the Bloodmist Valley waiting for rescue? How is it possible …
The cloaked man was slightly shocked, but he didn't say anything. Zeta was about to capture the cloaked man to see what was going on, but he suddenly frowned. He saw the flames flourishing, and a figure wrapped in flames appeared out of thin air and threw a punch.
Zeta felt the terrifying power of the opponent's fist, so he didn't dare to neglect. There was a black magic wand in his hand that emitted a trace of cold air. It condensed into an ice fist, and he launched it in the air.
When the 2 collided, it was not earth-shattering as imagined. There was just a muffled sound, but the powerful force field that spread out caused everything around to be repelled frantically. Even the 2 Demon Emperor powerhouses, Samoer and the cloaked leader, were no exception. Some of the weaker ones turned into ashes, while others scattered into ice crystals and dissipated.
"Vanim. Toro!" Zeta looked at the figure in the flame and snorted coldly, "You really surrendered to the Dark Moon! You have lost the face of the Toro Family, including our entire elder family! "
Vanim was one of the Demon Overlord assassins who snatched the devil fruit at the Dark Moon auction. He surrendered after being captured. Now he was recognized by Demon Overlord Zeta, who was also an elder family, at a glance.
"Hurry up!" Vanim ignored Zeta's question, and he just shouted to the cloaked leader behind him.
The leader immediately got on the horse and blew a horn. Many cavalries suddenly had a dark red light on their bodies. Their speed suddenly accelerated, and they quickly distanced themselves from the pursuers. They broke through the blockade of the capital's front army, merged with the Dark Moon Army, and quickly retreated.
"[Magic Shadow Charge]!" Samoer gritted his teeth and said. His knuckles that were holding the long sword turned white.
As Zeta was about to stop it, the flames on Vanim's body flourished. A large area of meteor-like flames was ejected toward Zeta. If Zeta dodged, Samoer at the back would be affected by this terrifying attack. In desperation, he had to wave his magic wand. Several intertwined cold air weaved into a large net. The flames collided into the black net, making a sizzling sound. Soon, the power of both sides canceled each other out.
Vanim and Zeta exchanged a few blows, then he flew backward when he saw an opening. Soon, he disappeared into the night sky. Zeta did not chase after him. He looked contemplative. Vanim's original strength was inferior to him, but now they were evenly matched. It seemed that his strength had increased a lot after he surrendered to the Dark Moon due to some reasons.
On the other side, Samoer led his troops to chase the Dark Moon Army for a while. Seeing that the enemy was getting farther and farther away, he didn't know if there were other ambushes in the dark, so he had to stop resentfully.
This time, the capital army suffered a big loss. Not to mention that the casualties were far higher than the enemy, even the military food was burned by the enemy's cavalry raid. Samoer, who returned to Town Mordo, was furious.
"Are you sure that the one leading the cavalry is Nesta?"
"Sir Zeta, I can be sure!" Samoer said quite affirmatively, "Although he is wearing a cloak, I am very familiar with his sword skills. There is also the unique [Magic Shadow Charge] skill of the Magic Shadow Legion and the equipment left by the enemy's corpse … The request for help in the Bloodmist Valley must be a huge conspiracy."
Zeta pondered, "This matter is not a trivial matter. We should not act rashly for the time being. We must immediately report to Royal Highness Regent and let Royal Highness make a decision."
Samoer nodded. Deputy General Liers said, "The military food is in short supply now. Even if we don't move, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain."
"It doesn't matter, we can collect from Town Mordo!" Samoer sneered, "We helped these townspeople drive away the Dark Moon invaders. Logically, they should also pay us! You go to the old mayor now and ask him to hand over the food. If it is not enough, take the soldiers to go door to door and collect from all the townspeople! Those who dare to resist will be punished as Dark Moon spies! "
"Yes!"
In the next few days, Town Mordo was full of complaints. In addition to forcibly collecting food, many soldiers also committed a lot of atrocities such as rape and robbery. This was the reason why Samoer deliberately did not restrain them. It was also his so-called way to improve morale. As for the livelihood of the people in the Red Spirit Estate, it had nothing to do with him.
Compared with these capital soldiers who came to "assist", the previous Dark Moon Army did not offend the townspeople. In the hearts of the townspeople, the former was more like an invader.
The days of fear were finally over temporarily because Samoer had received Obsidian's order to attack the Bloodmist Valley in the Black Mountain Forest and eliminate all the Dark Moon Army in the Red Spirit Estate. As for Nesta, who was suspected of defecting to the enemy, Obsidian's request was to capture him alive!
Samoer immediately led the army to leave Town Mordo and went south toward the Black Mountain Forest.
